The Children’s Parade begins immediately after, at about 10:30 a.m.  It features families and kids of all ages in patriotic attire riding or pushing tricycles, bicycles, strollers, carriages, and pulling wagons also suitably decorated. Join the parade around the block starting in front of Morgan-Manning House.

Following the Children’s Parade, a concert will begin around 11 a.m.  The Brockport Community Concert Band (directed by Shawn Halquist) will play patriotic tunes, marches, movie themes, and 

At 12:15 p.m., The Brockport Big Band will perform sounds of composers like Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Stan Kenton from the 1940’s Big Band Jazz era.
